And that 25% is average over the measuring period it could have gone
way high for short periods, if its at the wrong time you drop audio.
So to prevent that most people like to see those numbers as low as possible.

When my wife picked up a new laptop, I looked specifically for one that
had a separate graphics card. It is relatively easy to identify these
laptops. In most laps, the memory will not be 1 Gbyte, but something
smaller like 900 Mbyte. This is because the video memory is shred with

Jeff,
Normal. As I mentioned before, I have a 1.8 GHz lap top with 12 MB
RAM and it ran 20 to 30 % CPU and about once a minute, it would peak
at 100% in which case the SDR display would freeze. I upgraded to
1.5G RAM and it runs 10 to 20 % and never peaks above about 50%.

You run your machines harder than I do, then.
